[Windows update installing the new Edge browser] Update KB4559309 Makes Computer Unbearably Slow

Anonymous

Last night I updated my windows 10 pro using KB:4559309. Since then my computer performance has absolutely tanked. my startup time is probably triple, loading any window has a few second delay.

I attempted to uninstall the update however windows tells me that it is required and cannot be removed.

This update has essentially rendered my brand new computer useless.

Please help!

Hey there, everyone

I have spoken to Missy Quarry, from the Edge team, and they are investigating this problem. However, they really need more details submitted though the Feedback Hub on Windows 10. 

To submit feedback, please go to start > Feedback Hub. 

You will need to click onto report a problem. Then enter your feedback/problem you are having with Microsoft Edge. On the categories you will need to make sure you have the following drop down options selected in the image underneath:

The more detail you can submit, the better it will be for the Edge team to find out what is causing this issue. So the detail box that has the test comment, should detail everything you are experiencing. 

Hope this helps, 

Regards,

    Same here. On a new PC, after installing this update, I'm stuck on welcome for over 2 minutes and browsing, app loading times have increased. tried to run system restore but Lenovo (in their wisdom) set the max size of system restore to 0%.

    Hopefully this gets sorted as no installation media came with the system. I'm back on a 5 year old Vaio which runs 5 times faster.

    Oh for the days of Windows 7!

    same with me, too. i didn't get the KB4559309 update in Windows Update but I installed it manually via the microsoft.com/edge website. and when restarting Windows 10 May 2020 Update Version 2004 login to Windows 10 Desktop takes 3:55 (3 minutes 55 seconds).

    Note: I measured it through the Stopwatch on my Android phone.

    As far as I know, Windows 10 November 2019 Update Version 1909 is not that long. (as far as I remember).

    In the future, I hope there will be some improvements in the upcoming Windows 10 (20H2) or the upcoming Microsoft Edge Update. in order to log in to the Windows 10 Desktop as it should be.

    thanks.

    i agree very slow
